Ah Tehelka ! IF only you had played Presstitute ! IF only you were owned by Xri or Xrimati Money Bags.
Then.....folks like Mervyn Lobo and Eric Pinto would have believed you. For, They and their comrades are quite happy to unquestioningly trust whatever is written. So, it appears that a Few with poixe can control the thoughts of amche u know what! After the initial naivety, I stopped trusting what was written in Goa noojpapers owned by Vested Interests. (There were NO other kind BUT I soon caught on to their ways.) So, NOW, I read every story (even the ones the Bhakts on Goanet circulate privately and publicly) with a few questions at hand: (1) Who owns this nooj paper / media (2) Is this nooj paper and writer 'in the tank' with any vested interest or is he / she independent ? (3) Is the journalist reporting the news or editorialising ? (4) Are multiple outlets doing similar stories ? (5) Is this the most important story that is being given prominence and are other more important stories being kept closeted ? (6) Am I an intelligent person or Am I a mindless Bhakt ? jc
